Watches

He watches her with caring eyes,

He watches the way her hair swings when she walks,

The way she is always tripping up,

The way her eyes never fail to notice when he is around,

He watches the way her eyes fill with tears when she laughs too hard,

The way her smile lights up her face,

He is always watching because...

She is the one for him,

She is tall, she is tough, she is tantalising,

She knows how he feels,

Yet she doesn't know her own feelings,

She is passioned she is proud,

She knows what love is,

Yet remains loveless,

She is a great many things,

But she may never be his.
